Commentaries on John 11:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection - The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead was then commonly received; and though it was our Lord who fully exemplified it by his own resurrection, yet the opinion was common, not only among God's people, but among all those who believed in the God of Israel.

When Martha went to meet Jesus, Mary sat still in the house; this temper formerly had been an advantage…Read the comment
